If You Care You Can

The care industry needs people just like YOU! By completing care training, you open the door to a wide variety of jobs.

Growing Demand

There is a high demand for workers in Aged, Community and Disability Care and this demand is growing every day.

From Productivity Commission Report 2011

The demand for aged care workers is expected to significantly increase over the next 40 years as a result of the increasing number of older Australians requiring care and support and a decline in the relative availability of informal carers.

The supply of workers is problematic. The formal aged care system currently faces difficulties in attracting and retaining workers. These difficulties are expected to intensify due to increasing competition for workers as the overall labour market tightens in response to population ageing.

Flexible Hours

If you prefer flexible hours, this is the job for you! Support Workers are required 24 hours a day, 7 days a week – which means you are not restricted to a 9 to 5 job.

Pathways

Daisy Learning care training may be just the beginning and open pathways to many different careers. For example, most of our courses can share many units, so dual qualifications may be as simple as completing a couple of extra units. Students can also apply to complete Certificate IV’s and in turn to Diploma’s. Many students use our training as a stepping stone toward nursing.
